Can some body plz. suggest an equivalent program of sysconfig.exe (available in WIN XP) in Win 200 Pro??

Question

I want to get rid of programs that start each time my system boots up. I previously used Win XP but now shifted to Win 2000 pro.

I don't remember what it was called in Win XP sysconfig.exe or msconfig.exe

Answer 1

Here are a couple of real good ones.

Autoruns

The download link is at the bottom of the page.

WhatsRunning (v2.2)

Both of these are much better than "msconfig"

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I believe you mean "msconfig". And the msconfig.exe from XP will work just as well on 2000, I know this because I used it on my machine at work which is running 2000 when I noticed it didn't come with msconfig built in. Just download it from here and you're sorted:
